I can't save them.

Never could.

Who were you trying to save?

The people I grew up with. I shouldn't have even tried.

Oh, I - I see. I'm sorry to hear it didn't go as you'd have hoped.

Thank you Miss, that's really nice of you.

Of course.

I understand the regret that comes with not being able to save people - it's practically part of the job description when you're a doctor. Never gets easier.

Do you still like bein a doctor, even if you can't save people?

Well - yes.

I'm primarily an anesthesiologist, so my function is rarely life-or-death, but it can be hard when one gets attached to patients to hear things couldn't be helped. But there are plenty of cases where the patients are able to make full recoveries, and it's gratifying to know that I'm able to help.

But it's still real important and it takes a lot of work from everything I understand about it.

Yes, that's very true. A lot of hard work is involved, but in my opinion it's very much worth it.

Good thing that there's doctors like you out there Miss.

*a little smile*

Thank you very much.

And you can call me Dakota.

My names Janie. It's real nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you too, Janie.
